A Thoughtful Day

Making mind maps to inspire me to think more creatively this morning, I was trying to decide on a concept .... a theme ... for the Blurb Book Competition.  The deadline is July 13th. I have plenty of ideas swimming around in my head, but the book has to have a concept, and have a natural order. I want to make a Documentary Style  Book; I'm having difficulty finding an idea that I can work on.

I wasn't feeling very energetic today but I needed to get some air, so I walked around Ford Pk Cemetery ...with my camera of course.

Ford Park Cemetery is at the back of our house and I often walk there. This may seem quite odd to some people, but I find it very peaceful and very interesting. Today I walked by the War Graves, so many men from different times in history. So many of them young men, under 35 years old.  It makes me realise how very lucky I  am to live in a time of relative peace. At least peace in our country, not the world over, unfortunately.

War is such a tragic waste of life. I am sometimes idealistic and childish in my wish for peace the world over, why fight to kill when it is so much better to talk and live. Dream on ...............
